fever dog

So this is where I've been spending some quality time since about Wednesday.

Dawn's favorite chair has become the sick bay. In hindsight, my symptoms started on Monday, but I didn't recognize that's what they were until the doctor told me on Thursday that I had the flu. Though two different 103 degree fever episodes over two days' time let me know that something was definitely up. I even stayed home sick for two days in a row, something that I haven't done since school.

I started Netflixing "24" and blew through the first two discs in an afternoon. And even though I have digital cable and a crapload of DVDs (see them in the background?), I still can't find anything to watch, at least nothing that holds my interest. I even busted out the video games, which I haven't done in ages.

Tea didn't even want anything to do with me. I think my coughing and the beeping of the digital thermometer scared her. Too bad I couldn't just sleep, which is part of the reason the doctor wanted me to stay home.

oops...i did it again

Obviously not content with one color, I paid another visit to my hair guru, Claire, this past weekend. I've decided to call my look "controlled rebellion". I went in there wanting some a light brown in between the blond from before and my natural color, but when I couldn't find a color that would show up enough, I went red. Well, I picked reddish blond, but Claire gave it a little kick. I'm not sure how I feel about it...I'm getting compliments, but for myself, I'm still adjusting. At least my dad didn't refer to me as a rooster, which was what I was half-expecting. I'm already thinking about next time and the next color though.
